Vegan Orange Balsamic Tofu

Yum yum tofu!
One of the most versatile ingredients a vegan can use for the savory, the sweet, and the in between, tofu is more than a simple white solid soy block- it's a mold waiting for magician's magic to transform it into worthy palatable innovation!
And I try not to eat so much of this addicting divinity, once a week, maybe less, but when tofu is on the menu, it's imperative that it be prepared in a uniquely crafted manner.
For this recipe, orange and balsamic vinegar kiss each other in sweet greeting, give the plain, devoid flavor of tofu a delicious lightly crisped coating and a meaty interior tenderness irresistible in each bite.
This very easy pan fried recipe can also be baked too and if the citrus flavor is found compelling add a sprig of orange zest atop to heighten that desire.
